Loved the vid. Some interesting post-flop spots instead of everything happening pre. I'd definitey like to see this develop into a series. FWIW I really liked the Loon one too a few months back

Really liked the video, lot of insights to take from different situations. Only question that I have is about the hand with 55 at minute 16 when we lead out with the bottom end of the straight draw, just wondering what is the plan for the turn if pfr or cold caller decide to just call our donk.

Please turn on "Display Bet Amounts" in the Pokerstars options next time. It'll make the action a lot easier to follow. I really don't know how you can play no-limit without seeing the bet amounts. Discussion seems good so far, though. Would be cool if this turns into a full series.

I'm curious about this one also, was going to ask the same thing. I don't incorporate donkbetting into my game at all, so I'd like to hear some more about the reasoning for it and how you plan for future streets. I agree that check/calling in that spot sucks, though, and I'd probably check/fold there most of the time personally. If it was a limped pot, I would definitely lead out.

Another question I had is when we open A3o from the small blind and get 3-bet by the big blind. Why would we ever want to call this 3-bet out of position? There's no flop that we really like except when we flop an absolute monster on like A33 or something. Since this hand plays so badly postflop it seems like it should either be an easy fold to the 3-bet or a hand to 4-bet bluff with. Would leave to hear your thoughts behind calling.

+1 on the 'make it a series'. Would love to see how Krantz' coaching is all about...

Quick question:

Can you go into the thought process of RRing an UTG Rer w AJo UTG+1? (or any other pos for that matter) DD said he'd like to do it & Krantz said yes like it was totally standard (& said would even do it w AT if I heard right??) This seems like the classic fold-out-all-worse and get-called-by/shoved-on by better type of situation. In other words, we're getting more money/making the pot bigger as dogs. I've always folded unless I knew the UTG Rer to be extremely loose/bad post-flp...

Thanx

i was wondering too.

great video. so many interesting spots...seemed like a lot more spots than a typical 4 table video. i really learned a lot in this one. i hope you continue with the series.

I'm new here, and have seen prob 15 videos...but this is my first comment to a video. Good stuff.

Pretty sure the KT call is from here: http://www.dangerlion.com/?p=289

Thanks for the comments guys. I will say on the 55 hand that I think the flop bet is pretty standard, and also would be standard to lead with a set or straight there. Basically I don't trust people to c-bet scary boards and with my LAGgy image my bets don't exactly command fear and respect.

Wouldn't be your image a good reason to not lead here if you think they won't respect your donk, since you only have an underpair and a questionable draw? Let's say UTG flats, the plan is to barrel both turn and river to get him off an overpair?

Good stuff, +1 for series. That linked KTo KRANTZ hand is fairly incredible. I'm sure even if he wanted to try and explain it most of our heads would asplode in incomprehension anyway.

+1 Just another "Series" request!!

Or anything along the lines of "Making the transition to NL, from a LIMIT background, without getting killed."

And thank you, enjoying this so far!

i suppose there's the adventures of petey and petey, and spaceman in a cowboy hat already, but the more the merrier.
